Title: what is the role of language and reason in history?
Opinion: Language and reason helps us understand and communicate with different people around the world even if they are of different cultures.





Support 1: Language is a system of communicating that combines sounds, symbols, or gestures accroding to sets of rules about word order and meaning. Body language or symbols are another way of communicating without using words. This helps us understand other people even though we might not speak the same language. For example: similing is an international symbol. If a chinese smiles at me and waves his hand I can understand that he is saying hi to me, vene though we don't speak the same language.






Support 2: All cultures are completely different and to understand and tolerate them we need reason. For example in some arab countries they don't eat meat becuase cows are sacred animals. In other cultures it's normal to eat meat. In order to tolerate them we should use reason to understand that it's normal to them not to eat meet and that their culture is completely different.
